Want to earn some cool NEW prizes? Just look for the “Free Prizes” button in the Thing to Do menu. When you click on it, you’ll have the option to either earn KinzCash or a prize by watching a video advertisement. At the end of the video, you’ll be awarded your prize.
The prizes for watching these video ads are ALL NEW and can’t be won anywhere else. The prize items are awarded randomly, with some of the bigger prizes being rarer than others. You can watch and win up to a total of 10 times per day.
Please note that you’ll need to have your Parent’s Account set to allow 3rd party ads and you’ll need to turn off any ad blockers to participate. When making changes to your Parents Account settings, you will need to click on the link sent in the confirmation email (i.e., the same email used to login to your Parent’s Account) to see the changes take effect. Also make sure you are logged out of your Webkinz account while making changes to your Parents Account settings.
UPDATE (04/13/2018): Please note that once an advertiser’s daily quota is reached, the videos for the ads are automatically capped and the “No ads are available in your area” message will appear. So if you were able to watch video ads one day and not the next, it most likely means that the video ads have been capped for the day and you’ll have to try again tomorrow.
Currently we only have advertisers in North America supplying us with video ads, so only accounts in North America can use this feature.
Since we have been reaching the daily quota for our advertisers with this new feature, we have now turned off the video ads that used to pop up between plays in the Arcade and the room.
What do you think of these new prizes and the way to win them? Let us know in the comments below.
No adds available in Germany :( aw, that’s sad
thank for the info
Is there a limit on how many prizes we can win per account? On two of my accounts I have had the message “0 videos available” for the past three days. I had difficulty logging on to a couple of my accounts so I disabled third party ads on those accounts. I’m still having problems with those accounts trying to log in and also unable to log in on accounts which never had third party ads allowed. Yes, I have cleared my cache (several times) and restarted my computer with no success logging onto my accounts. I have used Chrome and Internet Explorer. It’s very random and sometimes when I’m lucky to long on, everything lags terribly and I end up getting logged off. Is anyone else having these issues? Six Deluxe accounts that I haven’t been able to play the past two days!
Two days ago it told me I have no more video plays left. It’s now said that for the past 2 days. It seems like it’s no longer resetting. Is anyone else having this problem?
Yes, same exact problem with mine for 2 days also.
I’m seeing the same thing. Hope you can fix it quickly. thanks.
Glad it is not just me. thought there was someting wrong on my accounts. It has been
Have the free prizes stop because I keep getting a “You have 0 videos the watch” with all of my account, like I have watch all ten videos for the day and I haven’t seen one video.
I meant Accounts!
I’m seeing the same thing on mine. I’m the only one who plays and it started yesterday. I logged in a couple minutes after midnight today and still shows the same thing. Hope you can get this fixed soon. Thanks.
Mine is doing it too. Yesterday and today.
Me too since yesterday and this morning too.
Same here. It started yesterday. Still like that today. Glad to know it is happening to others, not just me. Hope they get it fixed soon!
Well, I was hoping by this morning they would have it fixed, but just tried it again and still saying used them all up for the day. Hope you can fix it soon.
I have ABSOLUTELY had it with my computer stalling every time the ads change on the right side of the screen!!! I can’t make it through any of the classes in the Academy without my computer freezing up!!! That doesn’t happen with ads turned OFF, and now l’m getting ads during play again!!!
I have watched the videos everyday and still no cannon. I am beginning to wonder if it was included in the prize pool.
I got the confetti canon yesterday!
Thanks! I finally got it, too! Took forever. Now for the past 2 days it says I have 0 videos for today! I was playing all 10 everyday and now I can’t play any. Anyone else have this happen????
This article says “Since we have been reaching the daily quota for our advertisers with this new feature, we have now turned off the video ads that used to pop up between plays in the Arcade and the room.” So, how come I am seeing ads pop up in my house area and in the arcade? Based on the comments section of the article, it sounds to me like the daily quota for ads are still being met, so why the extra advertisements?!?
I don’t know how to turn on ads. Is there something I’m supposed to click?
Hi Ganz team! I don’t know if you will still be checking back on the posts here, but I didn’t know where else to post my comment. Now that we have figured out how to enable the ads, I’ve been watching the 10 ads per day and receiving my prizes. So, thanks! Just today though, I’ve noticed something different. Ads will just randomly pop up, and take over my screen when I’m switching rooms or something. Twice this interfered with pet requests, as the timer kept ticking down all during the ad, and all I wanted to do was get my pet to a trampoline before they gave up and became disappointed. I know that this is something new, and it may need some more adjusting. But I just thought you and your advertisers would want to reconsider the pop-ups because interfering with my game play isn’t likely to make me feel very good about whatever they are advertising. :(
i agree, i turned off ads again today because of this
